Time is the key to understanding the movements and rhythms of everyday life.
By watching how things happen over time, you can see the patterns and routines that shape our world.
From the flow of traffic to the changing seasons to the way people interact, time reveals the details that help us make sense of everything around us.
Highlights
Our Research
We study the movements and activities captured in everyday videos. By looking closely at how things move and change over time, we aim to understand the patterns and rhythms of daily life. Our goal is to uncover how time influences everything around us, from how people interact to how the environment changes.
Our Projects
Our projects aim to advance safety and security, future cities, IoT, agribusiness, and defense, with applications in health and innovative industries. We focus on developing technologies for real-time analysis and efficient data processing to enhance safety and performance across various domains.
Our Team
Our team comprises ANU honors and master’s students who are both passionate and disciplined in their exploration of motion and dynamics. We are deeply curious about the role of time and its influence on various phenomena, continuously seeking to understand how temporal factors shape and drive the dynamics of the world around us.
